But Loss Forgiven is not turned on.

Yeah, I'd like my LP back from the "loss" I got when my top lane dc'd 5 times.

well played Rito.

I don't think you understand what the issue is. It doesn't have to do with disconnects. It happens when someone ALT+TAB potentially. I can see why it's not listed as lost forgiven if only 1 out of 10 players experience any dc.

No, theres ISP issues. I have 180 ping and 1.5 sec dc's, that everything freezes. and then everything that was missed happens in an instant. theres a legit problem.

regional isp issues doesn't mean it's riots servers even though it's crap sometimes. I already played 4 games. I didn't see any dc in my team or didn't connect on loading.

^ This is not Pandemic, Riot will not turn loss prevented on because an ISP in Virginia is having issue.

If they did, we'd have a hard time playing ranked.

Yeah too bad they can't give you LP back. I asked once when I lost mine after a power outage ruined a game for me and they said something along the lines of "I'm sorry to hear about the LP loss, but our system is made to ensure that the LP is not tampered with" so they can't give/subtract anything from anyone for any reason (including themselves) or they'd have their own employees possibly abusing it.

Keep dreaming.

If every loss involving a DC resulted in no lost LP, players could leave intentionally to prevent LP losses. 5-man teams could cycle through leave duty to evade LP losses. Trolls could have new motive to verbally abuse flailing allies in an attempt to get them to prevent LP loss via leaving. Some players could be "helping" by forcing a loss out of a winnable game to prevent LP loss.

Preventing games with leavers from mattering has massive abuse potential with just preventing losses from leaving.
